just want to know if i need to keep the feature enabled, every time i plug my 8310 into my pc and start dm, it asks me for the password. when i try to change the setting in options on the device to 'off' it asks for a password, which i never set.

* The Handheld KeyStore is defined as part of the net.rim.device.api.crypto.keystore API. This policy is designed to determine whether applications are allowed to access the keystore. The keystore contains certificates, public keys and private keys for the user.

I believe that if your company is using certificates (as mine does) to control access to certain of their web sites, you can download those certificates to your BB and also access them from there...not 100% sure that is right, but from the description that's what I thought it would do.
